Or is the truck a whole different animal than the jeep and car ones even though it is the same engine?
Different PCM's.

That makes a tuner's job much harder. Couple that with the introduction of two features not previously available in a hemi (active intake manifold and vct) and you have a situation ripe to produce overpriced products with bugs. I'm not saying that this will happen for sure, but I would not want to be a guinea pig.
Did the previous years have the electronic throttle? I think that this may be what is giving them fits. There is probably a whole new set of tables in there for throttle position. Hypertech is just messing with puleswidth and throwing a little more timing in there. They are not going as deep into the box as Diablo or SCT will (hopefully/eventually).

Another option is to try to find a pcm off of a truck that has been wrecked and send it to B&G.

Talked to the people over at DiabloSport they said that they are working on one for the doge ram as we speak. They expect to have the Predator and the Trinity model out within the next two months.

They said 30-60 days 30-60 days ago. I don't think we are the first priority. I think they have the PCM done, but needed to work the TCM issues.

Yep-every new hemi in a production vehicle has had the electronic throttle. Nothing new under the sun there.

Wasn't sure. I'll tell you one thing- there are times when I wish I had a camera on the blade to see if it is really opening up all of the way when I put my foot on the floor.
Did tuners for previous years' Hemis address anything that had to do with the throttle?

The sliding release date. I posted up over there 4/16 asking about them. The reply was 45-60 days. I posted again last week asking for an update. The reply was "Not yet, still looking into it".

There is a guy over there now offering up cash, his wife, and his wife's sister if they'll come up with something for our trucks.

He is on this forum too. Check out the last couple pages of the chrome trim ring thread.

It clicked after I read it a few times.

I quit in the other thread too.
